Step 1: Form a Sharps Injury Prevention Team
NIOSH suggests that one of the major elements of the process for selecting and evaluating safer medical devices is the formation of a sharps injury prevention team to develop, implement, and evaluate a plan to reduce needlestick injuries in the facility and to evaluate safer medical devices.
